Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Call Off From Scottish Government Temporary and Interim Staff Services Framework," was conducted by Historic Environment Scotland, a central purchasing body responsible for national heritage, tourism, and built environment projects in Edinburgh, UK. The process has reached the award stage, with a contract signed on 7th July 2025 and completed in the same year. Covering the services category under an open procedure, the procurement was aimed at acquiring temporary and interim staff services, specifically for the role of a business analyst, through a framework provided by the Scottish Government. The contract carries a value of £70,000 and falls under industry classification code 79600000, associated with recruitment services. The open procurement method facilitated the receipt of bids, all of which were submitted electronically.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in supplying temporary and interim professional staff. Although the award has been made to Venesky Brown Ltd, an SME based in Edinburgh, the framework's open-access nature renders it highly suitable for other SMEs and larger enterprises focused on the staffing industry. Businesses with capabilities in recruitment services, particularly those that can deliver niche or specialist staff quickly, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders under this framework, thereby expanding their business footprint within the Scottish public sector. The procurement favours agile and responsive suppliers who can effectively meet government service requirements.
